For Shiny Hair
- Lightly beat two eggs mixed with some milk and run throughout your hair. Leave on for 5 minutes, rinse and you'll see a shine instantly.
This recipe gives your hair a great shine and also helps remove soap build up.
- For Blondes: Add a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice to your rinse water. For Brunettes and Redheads: Add a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to your rinse water.
- Stir 1 teaspoon of honey into 4 cups (1 quart) warm water. After shampooing, pour the mixture through you hair. Do not rinse out. Dry as normal.
White Nails
For clean, healthy, white looking nails try this!
Use a common whitening toothpaste, and scrub your nails with the toothpaste. It's just as easy as achieving a pearly white smile and will also take away any stains and shine up your nails.
Next, soak your nails in water with lemon juice or lemon slices for around 5-10 minutes. The lemon acts as an astringent and will strip away stains. Once your hands are dry, apply a few coats of clear topcoat.
